Dwight Yoakam - An exception to the rule

^GSoft clouds all drift ^Caway ^GBright sunshine^C never stays Warm ^Gafternoons turn ^Crainy dark and ^Dcruel ^GA candle's glowing light will ^Cdie The ^Gpurest voices ^Coften lie And with ^Glove I've found that all the same is ^Dtrue

Even ^Gthough I should know ^Dbetter I guess ^Gwe could maybe ^Emtry There ^Cis the risk of ^Dlooking like a ^Gfool Ah, But I've ^Cgot a lucky ^Dfeeling Just a ^Ghunch, don't^D ask me ^Emwhy You ^Cmight be an exception to the ^Drule

^GSweet dreams can't be re^Ccalled High ^Ghopes can collapse and ^Cfall As the ^Gsky keeps turning ^Csadder shades of ^Dblue The ^Gstrongest promise finally ^Cbreaks And ^Gonly leads to bigger ^Caches Are ^Glessons that I ^Clearned at sorrow's ^Dschool

Even ^Gthough I should know ^Cbetter I guess ^Gwe could maybe ^Emtry There ^Cis the risk of ^Dlooking like a ^Gfool Ah, but I've ^Cgot a lucky ^Dfeeling Just a ^Ghunch, don't^D ask me ^Emwhy You ^Cmight be an exception to the ^Drule

^GSoft clouds all drift ^Caway And bright ^Gsunshine never ^Cstays But you ^Cmight be an exception to the ^Drule
